I just had a look and he looks like he's playing decently well this year for the Marlies.  Any chance we see this guy come up this season?  He seems to be taking kind of long to develop and he kind of seems like a bit of a bust thus far.  He's certainly not what I was expecting.  Mind you the...

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/maple-leafs-place-petan-marincin-on-waivers/ar-BBWqkIX?li=AAggNb9 Losing Petan in particular for sweet nothing seems like a real shame to me.

Hutchinson hasn?t won a game since January. This is becoming problematic. Discuss.

I know it's early but I'm wondering what the Leafs are going to do this season.  I have a feeling they might go all in, depending on their injury situation and also how well they are playing down the stretch.  Any ideas?  There has been speculation of trading Nylander or someone of his ilk for...

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/06/health/oumuamua-alien-probe-harvard-intl/index.html This may be related to this: https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/15/us/national-solar-observatory-closed-evacuated-trnd/index.html I'm a believer, personally.  I think this is the real deal.  The acceleration as it...

Hey guys the NHL Expansion Draft for Vegas is on Wednesday.  Here is a list of the Leafs' protected and exposed players: Available Brian Boyle (F) Eric Fehr (F) Colin Greening (F) Seth Griffith (F) Teemu Hartikainen (F) Brooks Laich (F) Brendan Leipsic (F) Joffrey Lupul (F) Milan Michalek (F)...

So guys the NHL trade deadline is coming up on Wednesday at 3pm.  What do you guys think the Leafs are going to do?  They have $15 million in cap space apparently.  That would give them room for multiple high priced rentals, plus they do have the prospect capital to get some deals done.  I'm on...

Hey guys I'm wondering if you know when all of the bad contracts the Leafs have come off the books?  By that I mean: - Phil Kessel - the Leafs are paying Pittsburgh a portion of his salarly, $1-2 million per season, IIRC - Stephane Robidas - I seem to remember this guy getting paid to do...

http://www.tsn.ca/holland-leafs-appear-headed-for-split-1.619464 Too bad. I always liked him and I think he would do well as a third or fourth liner. He always has had decent point production. Hopefully the Leafs can trade him and at least get something for him. I'm guessing Babcock doesn't...

I'm just creating this thread to keep an eye on James Reimer.  He looks like he didn't have a great d?but against Vancouver over the weekend.  It will be interesting to see how he does and where he winds up signing.  There was an article about him this week where he flat out denied the $6...

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/leafs-expected-to-recall-willaim-nylander-soon-after-trade-deadline/ This is a really stupid move IMO.  It burns a year off his entry level contract plus it works against the tank.  Not only that but he is a small player and he's likely to get hurt or...

This is what Rogers needs to do with Shapiro, it will solve all their problems: https://youtu.be/4pONFIqYxdU

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/leafs-call-up-bibeau-on-emergency-basis-reimer-hurt/ This is good for the tank. This is looking like a lost season for the Leafs.

I see other threads involving Nonis and Babcock but I think we need a thread dedicated to the Leafs search for a new GM.  It's becoming quite urgent because the draft is fast approaching and the Leafs are reportedly going to do a "scorched earth" rebuild this summer, hopefully trading anyone...
